Circuit/System Testing

NOTE:
  • Larger volume fuel tanks and/or those with lower fuel levels may require several minutes for the floating indicator to stabilize.
  • Refer to the J 41413-200  operation manual for detailed instructions in Evaporative Emission System Diagnosis .
  1. Connect the J 41413-200  to the vehicle EVAP service port. For vehicles without a service port, disconnect the purge tube at the quick connector on the EVAP canister side of the purge solenoid valve and install the CH-48096  .
  2. Use a scan tool to seal the EVAP system.
  3. Use the flow meter on the J 41413-200  , calibrated to 0.51 millimeter (0.020 in) to determine that there is no leak in the EVAP system.
    • If a leak is detected, use the J 41413-200  to apply smoke to the EVAP system at the service port or the purge tube until the leak is located using the J 41413-SPT  .
  4. To test for a restriction, connect the J 41413-200  nitrogen/smoke hose to the to the J 41413-311  brass cone adapter. Disconnect the hose at the fuel cap end of the GE-41415-50  . Connect the J 41413-311  to the disconnected hose on the GE-41415-50  . Install the GE-41415-50  filler neck end only to the vehicle.
  5. Allow the engine to idle.
  6. Use the Purge/Seal function to seal the system with a scan tool.
  7. Command the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve to 30 %.
  8. The vacuum/pressure gauge on the J 41413-200  and the FTP parameter on the scan tool should both show vacuum.
    • If the vacuum/pressure gauge shows vacuum, but the FTP parameter does not show vacuum, replace the FTP sensor.
    • If neither the FTP parameter nor the vacuum/pressure gauge shows vacuum, repair the restriction in the purge path.
  9. Verify that the vacuum increases to the abort limit on the scan tool or more than 3.2 V, and the values are similar between the scan tool and the vacuum/pressure gauge on the J 41413-200  .
    • If the values are not similar, or the voltage did not reach 3.2 V, replace the FTP sensor.
